Jace' s pov

I get home and just sit in my car for a couple minutes. just sit here and think. I head inside my house and my dad and Trisha are snuggling. gross. "hey dad." he clears his throat. I roll my eyes. "hi Trisha." ugh she is crazy! she gets on my nerves a lot! "hi Jace!" her voice is just as annoying as her personality. I go upstairs to my room where I feel sane. my posters on my wall comfort me. I have star wars, Lord of the rings, metallica, sleeping with sirens, all American rejects, and some country music posters. I also have a poster of my dream truck. it's a Ford, F150, long bed, three inch lift and its metallic silver. I'm going to get that truck one day. I guess my light blue Chevy pick up is good for now. I lay down and grab my phone. I'm playing some temple run 2 when my phone rings.

I look at the caller I'd on my cell, and it reads 'Claire bear'. "hello." "heyyy honey! what are you doing?" "laying down. why?" "well I was wondering if you want to finally go to watch that movie blended?" "sorry Claire but I already saw it." "you did? with who?" "yeah, I saw it with Ronny." ""you went to the movies with her." "uhh, yeah. is that bad?" is she jealous? "Yes! sweetie can I tell you something? something serious?" oh great. "y-yeah sure." "today I found out I have 6th period with Ronny. she kept giving me dirty looks, and whispering to people and then they'd point and laugh at me. she made rude remarks about me to my face. she really hurt my feelings." guess she's not jealous. "really? Ronny did that? b-but she's so shy! And I mean I know she voices her opinion if you ask her but she, she might have just been playing around. she can be sarcastic but she would never stoop to that level. I know Ronny." "Jace. would I lie about this? I would never lie to my one and only!" Ronny, no. "I guess you wouldn't. ok well I have to go. night." "night hons love you!" "I,....I love you too."

okay, so maybe I don't love her, and I can't not say it to her after the day she's had. I wonder why Ronny would be so mean. does she really hate Claire that much. I just thought Ronny was intimidated by Claire's big personality. I thought that because whenever I mention Claire Ronny just gets quiet and looks at the floor. I guess she just really hates Claire. that would explain why she doesn't talk to Claire, and why she switched sides at lunch today. man! I was really hoping Ronny would rub off on Claire. now I don't really think that.

"Jace dear! it's time to eat!" I guess I've been thinking for a couple of hours. ugh. I'm so tired. I make my way down stairs to see pizza boxes on the table, and some paper plates. this is how I like to eat. I eat 6 slices then go upstairs to blare my music. when I stop listening to music I watch the movie 'the born identity' in the middle of the movie I drift off to sleep.

I wake up to the sound of my alarm. I throw on a white t-shirt, and some dark wash jeans. then I grab my plain black sweater. I put on my Socks and then my black and white sneakers. I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth. after that I style my hair. looks good. I finally put my contacts on and run downstairs. I grab an Apple and I'm out the door. "bye dad! bye Trisha!" I start my car and head to school. I have homeroom with Claire. this is good. she is my girlfriend after all. but why am I dreading first period? I walk into the room and "hey honey bunny!" there it is. I walk over and she bites her glossy bottom lip. she is wearing a pink sequence shirt with some light jeans and pink heels. the wears a lot of make up. Ronny only wears the basics, you know, mascara, lip gloss, and eyeshadow. I'm sure she covers a zit from time to time. but Claire she wears a lot of make up. I mean don't get me wrong she's hot, but sometime too much make up is just unattractive. " Jace,....Jace....Jace!!" "huh? what?" she bites her lip again and slides her fingers up the front of my jacket. her eyes never leaving mine. she kisses my neck, then my cheek then my mouth. as soon as her tongue slides against my bottom lip I pull away. "sweetie pie. what's wrong?" i told her before I've want to wait, I also told her not to do stuff like that in public. it's disrespectful to the people around us. "Claire. I've told you before." she nods and then turns to her friends and starts to whisper. she points towards the door and they all giggle. I look over and see Ronny passing by. why do I feel the story Claire told me yesterday was the other way around? I

I clear my throat right behind Claire. "yes, shnookums?" "were you girls just laughing at Ronny?...what did she do to you guys?" "sweetie, I already told you." ugh. "Claire! please, no more lies. I know what you told me yesterday is a lie! so answer my question!" she looks at me with soft eyes. "honey, she wants to take you away from me." her eyes go cold. "now it's time to choose. me, your girlfriend!...or your stupid, nerdy neighbour!" I look at her in her eyes to see if the girl I fell for is still in there. she's not. Claire smirk then grabs my hand and once again slides her finger up the front of my jacket. she goes up and down. up and down. "Claire?..." "yes Jace?" I sigh. "I think we need to break up." she immediately gets a disgusted look on her face. "what? you pick four eyes?" "one. I didn't pick her. I just don't love you anymore, and I haven't for a long time. and two, new flash! I wear contacts!" this all happens in a matter of like seven minutes. the entire class period Claire sends me dirty looks. sometimes when I turn around she puts her hands in circles then up to her eyes like glasses. great. just great. my junior year already sucks and its only the second day.
